Yorkshire Tea to Go: A Pocket-Size Storage Guide
Yorkshire on the road should taste like Yorkshire at home—malty, bright, and ready when you are. Build a Yorkshire Tea travel tin that rides flat, stays clean, and brews beautifully from platform to pillow.
Pocket spec: slim personalised metal tin (3.94 × 3.94 × 0.39 in; inner 3.74 × 3.74 × 0.35 in), fits 3–5 wrapped sachets; about 0.4 in thick, rigid, wipe-clean, crumb-proof.
A Day with a Pocket Yorkshire Tin (timestamps)
07:10 — Train platform
Tin lives beside your phone in the jacket pocket. One Yorkshire Breakfast in the cup; boiling water, 3 minutes, first sweet note—lift.
10:35 — Office kitchen
Lid pops, no crumbs. Second Yorkshire goes in. Keep wrappers on until brew time; store away from gum and hand gel.
13:05 — Meeting spillover
You wanted coffee; you chose clarity. Half-strength Yorkshire: dunk-and-lift at 2 minutes.
16:20 — Client debrief
Peppermint stowaway? Not today. The tin’s snug lid blocks cross-scent, so your mug stays malty, not minty.
19:40 — Hotel check-in
Rinse the kettle once. Yorkshire with a splash of milk, 3½ minutes. Hello, anchor.
22:10 — Inbox tidy
Decaf Yorkshire from the “Evening” slot. Same profile, sleep still possible.

Dust in the tin? You overpacked—drop to 3–4 and restack.

Flat taste at the hotel? Rinse the kettle once, use a pre-warmed cup, and extend by 20–30 seconds.
FAQs
How many bags fit this size?
Most brands fit 3–5 in the 3.74 × 3.74 × 0.35 in inner space.
Loose leaf okay?
Yes—pre-portion into mini paper sachets and treat them like bags.
Will metal affect flavour?
No—tea stays dry; there’s no liquid contact with the tin.
Why a tin over a pouch?
Rigid walls prevent abrasion and crumbs; a snug lid blocks cross-scent from gum and perfume.
